That's an interesting hobby for a cat...LOL

I'd much prefer a new swimsuit to the dead rodents I currently recieve . . .

Our mama cat Mouse was a clepto. She would get on the dresser and take my bras or she would grab DH's socks and drag them away. It didn't matter if the socks were dirty or not. The one that got her into big trouble was the night I was sitting at my computer and DH was in the basement with friends playing darts. I looked up towards the hall just in time to see Mouse walk out of our bedroom doorway and head for the basement. I chased her down and managed to step on the bra strap just as she went through the basement doorway.

The only thing Misty carries is her "baby". She carries it around the house and cries.

Dusty is a sock thief. But they must be folded/bundled - whatever you call that thing you do with socks. She carries them off with loud yowls & hunting cries. She lies down & cuddles them, uses them for a pillow. I obtained for her, her own pair of socks - an old pair of child's socks. I wouldn't be surpsied if she's named her socks. As I type this, she's lying on the livingroom floor, right beside her socks.

The calling and dragging is what Misty does with a cat teaser, the first toy we got her. When I asked the vet why she does it she just shrugged her shoulders and saiddifferent cats do it for different reasons. To some it's a maternal thing and others it's a hunting one. Misty even grooms hers.
